SonyLIV has easily one of the best web shows in India. The platform has series like Rocket Boys, Tabbar, Gullak, and more.
Well, they also have a highly promising series called Charlie Chopra. Although the pilot episode was not much stimulating, we are still hopeful given it is directed by master filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj.
The pilot episode dropped on SonyLIV on June 30. Interestingly, there was no prior notice, no nothing about such a big series coming. But, anyways, surprises are usually worth it (not in this particular case).
Charlie Chopra is based on a novel by Agatha Christie called “The Sittaford Mystery”. We all know that there has rarely been a book adaptation as powerful as Bhardwaj’s ‘The Shakespeare Trilogy’. So it becomes even more promising.
Charlie Chopra stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Priyanshu Painyuli, Naseeruddin Shah, Lara Dutta, Neena Gupta, Ratna Pathak Shah, Gulshan Grover, Paoli Dam, Vivaan Shah, and Imaad Shah.
Just like the pilot episode came without any prior notice, there is no information whatsoever about the upcoming episodes of Charlie Chopra. When the filmmaker is as revered as Vishal Bhardwaj then people must be interested in watching the series, keeping them in limbo is not a good strategy.
We hope SonyLIV provides updates on Charlie Chopra ASAP.
